While photographing last Sunday’s protest at Main Beach, a passerby called my attention to a paradox.

The photo of two homeless people was taken 30ft. away from the massive police presence.

The photo of the police was taken from the same spot in the opposite direction.

I believe this to be a local community issue: The irony of people forced to sleep in the street, while massive amounts of our revenue is devoted to “public safety and the right to protect free speech.”

Maybe something to think about, maybe something to write a few words about...
